Fishing University is coming to Hart County

Internationally televised, Emmy award winning television show, Fishing University, will be  in Hartwell next month to film an episode that will air in 2020.

The segment will not only feature fishing on Lake Hartwell, but local dining, activities and attractions.

Hosts and fishing legends Charlie Ingram and Ray Brazier, along with the crew, will arrive on October 14th, to fish and film.

Hart County Chamber of Commerce is serving as point for the project, viewing it as a strategic marketing opportunity to reach a target audience of potential guests seeking an outdoor travel destination.

Hart County Chamber Executive Director Christine Blomberg tells WLHR News working with Fishing University is a natural fit to accompany their other marketing and advertising efforts in 2020.

Within the 30-minute episode of the show, a 90-second promotional spot will be included.

The spots will be created to mirror marketing efforts of the Chamber. Hosts Ingram and Brazier will also include numerous mentions of their location during the show.

In addition to filming promotional spots and fishing, the hosts and film crew will also present a one-hour program at Hart County High School to share with area youth the importance of attaining an education and the outdoor career options available to them.

The session will offer a “q & a” time with discussion of majors such as communications, marketing, biology, wildlife management, and animal husbandry.

And the high school will also have a 90 second segment within the show.

Fishing University holds a viewership of more than 120 million households, airing in all 50 states as well as in 51 additional countries.
